The impact of orthographic forms on speech production and perception: An artificial vowel-learning study
(ELSEVIER, 2022)This study investigates the effect of orthographic forms on phonetic aspects of isolated speech sound production and perception. Three groups of 25 L1-Spanish speakers were exposed to /y/ and /e/ in a multi-session ... -
The Influence of Emotional and Foreign Language Context in Content Learning
(Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2020)Prior research has found reduced emotionality with foreign language use, especially with single words, but what happens if emotionality is conveyed throughout a longer text? Does emotionality affect how well we remember ... -
The late positive potential (LPP): A neural marker of internalizing problems in early childhood
(International Journal of Psychophysiology, 2020)Background: One potentially relevant neurophysiological marker of internalizing problems (anxiety/depressive symptoms) is the late positive potential (LPP), as it is related to processing of emotional stimuli. For the ... -
The long road of statistical learning research: past, present and future
(Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences, 2017)... -
The neuroanatomy of bilingualism: how to turn a hazy view into the full picture
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)The neuroanatomical bases of bilingualism have recently received intensive attention. However, it is still a matter of debate how the brain structure changes due to bilingual experience since current findings are highly ... -
The neurocognitive underpinnings of the Simon effect: An integrative review of current research
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020)For as long as half a century the Simon task – in which participants respond to a nonspatial stimulus feature while ignoring its position – has represented a very popular tool to study a variety of cognitive functions, ... -
The Neurolinguistics of the Second Language Morphological System: The Role of Grammar-Related and Speaker-Related Factors
(Taylor & Francis, 2023)This chapter provides an overview of the neural correlates related to second language morphological processing, by integrating recent empirical evidence coming from event-related potentials, functional magnetic resonance ... -

The presence of a foreign accent introduces lexical integration difficulties during late semantic processing
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2021)Previous research suggests that native listeners may be more tolerant to syntactic errors when they are produced in a foreign accent. However, studies investigating this topic within the semantic domain remain conflicting. ... -
The proactive bilingual brain: Using interlocutor identity to generate predictions for language processing
(Scientific Reports, 2016)The present study investigated the proactive nature of the human brain in language perception. Specifically, we examined whether early proficient bilinguals can use interlocutor identity as a cue for language prediction, ... -
The Processing of Spanish Article– Noun Gender Agreement by Monolingual and Bilingual Toddlers
(Language and Speech, 2021)We assessed monolingual Spanish and bilingual Spanish-Basque toddlers’ sensitivity to gender agreement in correct vs. incorrect Spanish noun phrases (definite article + noun), using a spontaneous preference listening ... -
The relation between working memory and language comprehension in signers and speakers
(Acta Psychologica, 2017)This study investigated the relation between linguistic and spatial working memory (WM) resources and language comprehension for signed compared to spoken language. Sign languages are both linguistic and visualspatial, and ... -
The Relationship Between Phonemic Category Boundary Changes and Perceptual Adjustments to Natural Accents
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020)People often experience difficulties when they first hear a novel accent. Prior research has shown that relatively fast natural accent accommodation can occur. However, there has been little investigation of the underlying ... -
The role of crosslinguistic differences in second language anticipatory processing: An event-related potentials study
(Neuropsychologia, 2021)The present study uses event-related potentials to investigate how crosslinguistic (dis)similarities modulate anticipatory processing in the second language (L2). Participants read predictive stories in English that made ... -
The Role of Education in Executive Functions, Behavioral Problems and Functional Performance in People With Schizophrenia
(Neuropsychology, 2021)This cross-sectional study examined the influence of education on executive functions, behavioral problems and functional performance in people with chronic schizophrenia. Method: Our sample was composed of 116 subjects ... -
The role of letter features in visual-word recognition: Evidence from a delayed segment technique
(Acta Psychologica, 2016)Do all visual features in aword's constituent letters have the same importance during lexical access? Herewe examined whether some components of a word's letters (midsegments, junctions, terminals) are more important than ... -
The role of metacognition in monitoring performance and regulating learning in early readers
(SPRINGER, 2022)Metacognition refers to the capacity to reflect upon our own cognitive processes. Its contribution to reading development, when children start building their orthographic lexicon, still remains unknown. Here, we evaluate ... -
The role of metacognition in recognition of the content of statistical learning
(Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2021)Despite theoretical debate on the extent to which statistical learning is incidental or modulated by explicit instructions and conscious awareness of the content of statistical learning, no study has ever investigated the ... -
The Role of Native Language and the Fundamental Design of the Auditory System in Detecting Rhythm Changes
(Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing, 2019)Purpose: We investigated whether rhythm discrimination is mainly driven by the native language of the listener or by the fundamental design of the human auditory system and universal cognitive mechanisms shared by all ... -
The Role of Paired Associate Learning in Acquiring Letter-Sound Correspondences: A Longitudinal Study of Children at Family Risk for Dyslexia
(Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021)Visual-verbal-paired associate learning (PAL) is strongly related to reading acquisition, possibly indexing a distinct cross-modal mechanism for learning letter-sound associations. We measured linguistic abilities (nonword ...
